And the second photo was captioned, "This image of Prince Louis was taken by The Duchess of Cambridge at Kensington Palace on 26th April. The Duke and Duchess would like to thank members of the public for their kind messages following the birth of Prince Louis, and for Princess Charlotte’s third birthday."

Similar photos of Prince George and Princess Charlotte were released shortly after their births, as is tradition.

Here is one released in August 2013 of the new family of three. The candid was captured by new grandpa Michael Middleton.

That said, there is a chance we'll see him up on the balcony come Saturday June 9, for theTrooping of the Colour parade, in honor of the Queen's birthday. Trooping the Colour is one of the rare moments when we see the whole royal family up on theBuckingham Palace balcony, and while Kate will technically still be on maternity leave, there's a chance she'll give the public another look at her newborn baby boy.
